Another integral part of this CALL OF THE WILD exhibition is sharing the experience of observing – through two organised walks – the transformation of farm land at Keigwin into a haven for wildlife as well as productively making a living through farming organically. Here are the details:

SPECIAL FARM WALKS
AT HIGHER AND LOWER KEIGWIN FARMS
Friday 22^nd September & Wednesday 25^th October

The Guy family invite you to explore the richness of our landscape through farming with wildlife at Lower and Higher Keigwin Farm. Lisa Guy will walk with you through fields up to the moors where their ponies graze and down to Rose valley where ancient habitats have been revealed, visiting a restored spring and a living labyrinth on the way, and finishing with a cream tea in the woodlands.

Parking is at Lower Keigwin, immediately behind the gallery, where Lisa will meet everyone at 2pm. The gentle walk, with several pauses to look in detail at various habitats, will take about 2 hours. Price £8 each.

*Torr Helyk is Cornish for ‘where their ponies and cows graze’

Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the Charity that proceeds from commission on sales in CALL OF THE WILD will be supporting. SHELTERBOX, based in Cornwall, works around the world to alleviate suffering in areas subjected to conflicts and environmental disasters as a result of Climate Change, by providing shelter, tools and food for 6 months’ subsistence for families made homeless.

Any donation you feel able to add to our pot will be used to very good effect.

Thank you.

We look forward to seeing you at Yew Tree Gallery! Gilly
